OUR OPINION: Disruptive time changes? Let’s put them to bed

In Arizona, except for on one or two Indian reservations, the clocks never spring forward or fall back. They stay put all year.

We should envy those well-rested people, even if daybreak there looms before 5 a.m. at the height of summer.

Some people are calling for a change to our spring forward-fall back system, allowing the changes begin on Saturday, not Sunday, to give people an extra day to adjust

We have a more reasonable idea: We’re of the opinion these Draconian time changes should be done away with completely.
